[VOTE] Accept OpenJPA as an Incubator Podling
What follows is the official proposal for OpenJPA. The unofficial
version can be found here
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenJPAProposal
Please vote on acceptance of this proposal. The vote will run 1 week
until Sunday, March 26, 2006 or until all Incubator PMC members have voted.
[ ] +1 Accept the OpenJPA proposal
[ ] 0 Don't care
[ ] -1 Reject for the following reason :
=======================================================================
OpenJPA Project Proposal
=========================
OpenJPA will be an ASL-licensed implementation of the Java Persistence
API (JPA) which is defined as part of JSR-220.
Rationale
=========
We think that Open JPA is something that will benefit from wide
collaboration, being able to build a community of developers and
committers that outlive the founders, and that will be embraced by other
Apache efforts, such as the Geronimo project as part of an EJB 3.0
container. Given the existing momentum forming behind JPA even at this
early stage, we are confident that an industrial-grade ASL
implementation of JSR220 will attract a diverse community.
Criteria
Meritocracy
===========
The Open JPA committers recognize the desirability of building software
as a meritocracy and look forward to growing a healthy community of
developers to enhance the JPA APIs.
Community
=========
The proposed committer community is includes members of the BEA JPA team
and several individuals from the Apache community.
Core Developers
===============
Fourteen of the initial committers are BEA employees. One of those is a
committer on the Apache JDO project. We anticipate that five of these
fourteen will be involved in the core code development, and the other
nine will be involved in documentation and ongoing QA for the project.
Three of the initial committers are committers on the Geronimo project.
Two are IBM employees involved in the WebSphere product team. One is
from Intel.
Alignment
=========
Open JPA will be a candidate for use in Geronimo as the default JPA
implementation. Other projects that have general-purpose JPA needs may
be users of the Open JPA project.
Open JPA has some level of alignment with the Apache DB project. In
particular, the Open JPA codebase already includes support for Derby
databases.
JPA is for use in any Java application, not just J2EE. Therefore, any
application that needs to do data persistence in the object/relational
style (including any application that currently uses Hibernate) will
benefit from Open JPA.
License
=======
The existing codebase is owned by BEA and is subject to a proprietary
license. The applicable code will be relicensed under the Apache
Software License 2.0.
Avoiding the Warning Signs
==========================
Orphaned products
-----------------
Open JPA is a derivative of the basis of the BEA WebLogic Server (WLS)
EJB3 JPA implementation, and so is an important piece of the BEA code base.
As this is a very eagerly anticipated specification for the Java
community, we expect that this project will continue to grow and develop
within its own community, and be embraced by other open source projects
(such as Geronimo) as well.
Inexperience with open source
-----------------------------
The authors of the existing code (who will be part of the initial
committer list) have experience with open source development already, in
both professional and personal contexts. Examples: serp ([WWW]
http://serp.sourceforge.net) (used in Kodo currently), sqlline and jline
([WWW] http://sqlline.sourceforge.net and [WWW]
http://jline.sourceforge.net) (used by the Kodo development team, and
used by the Apache JDO team), Growl ([WWW] http://growl.info).
Four of the initial committers have extensive experience within the
Geronimo project, among other open-source projects.
Homogeneous developers
----------------------
The members of the initial committer list have been working in a
distributed, multi-national, asynchronous environment for the last five
years, while working at SolarMetric. We had a team of up to 7 people
working from 6 different locations over the course of the last five years.
Reliance on Salaried Developers
-------------------------------
Most of the developers are paid by their employer to contribute to this
project, but given the anticipation from the Java community for the a
JPA implementation and the committers' sense of ownership for the code,
the project would continue without issue if no salaried developers
contributed to the project.
No ties to other Apache products
--------------------------------
Open JPA will likely be used by Geronimo, requires some Apache products
(regexp, commons collections, commons lang, commons pool), and supports
Apache commons logging.
A fascination with the Apache brand
-----------------------------------
We think that Open JPA is something that will benefit from wide
collaboration, being able to build a community of developers and
committers that outlive the founders, and that will be embraced by other
Apache efforts, such as the Geronimo project.
Scope of Subprojects
=====================
No subprojects proposed.

BEA Systems, Inc. will contribute the initial core source code for
implementing JPA.

Of course :) I think of the mentors as a completely different category
of participant...

Okey, it's been a few days, and I think this was overwhelmingly
approved by a unanimous vote. Can we take it this is approved
and let them move on to the next step?

What we'll probably do is run it like we're running Harmony. The list
of committers on the proposal are the people we expect to show up, but
we won't be creating accounts by default - we'll need to have each
person say "yes, I'm ready and will be contributing immediately" before
making the account for them.
